I suspect that is the real reason Rio won. If you had a choice between Brazilian girls in their dental floss bikinis or a fat guy eating a bratwurst, which would you choose?
Is the fat guy shirtless? ‘Cause that would really seal the deal.
Steve,
Great minds think alike it would seem….

Doug –
This might not be the best week to ask, but are they of age — or am I just old?
Steve,
Yes, they’re of age
But I think we’re probably both too old
Not shirtless, but the belly is showing.
And yeah, I had to question whether they were of age too. Though the fact that Polanski wasn’t in the picture should be a give away.
I will like the visuals, but if NBC plays Duran Duran less than ten million times during the coverage, I’ll possibly be able to watch it with the sound on.
…I’ll be in my bunk…
Amamos o Rio! Cariocas encantadoras por cima de bratwusts qualquer dia!*
* Uh, just so long as they are of legal age and not trying to rob you at knife point
I can see it now: Catie Couric, or whomever may be her “perkier” replacement, will hire a personal trainer just so that the Brazillian equivalent of her doesn’t snark too much when Catie (or replacement Catie) appears on the beaches…..
Name me one US mainstream media correspondant that can compete with even a second rate samba school dropout.
And every samba school in the country just jumped on plans for the opening ceremonies. Can you possibly imagine what they could come up with in comparison with what they put on every year?
Becky, you caught me at mainstream, else I would say “Mary Katherine Ham.”
…Come to think of it… Any of the lovely ladies at the appropriately-named Fox news channel…
Why did Obama even bother? How does a gray metropolis like Chicago possibly compete with Rio? It’s classic Bambi vs. Godzilla.
Where can I download a copy of that film you screecapped?
